"Fire! Fire! ”

A thunderous roar landed on the surrounding sea and the warship, bringing up patches of water or debris fragments, as well as the wails and cries of the soldiers before they died, which made Shimazu Hisao's whole heart tremble.

Every once in a while, a warship sinks to the bottom of the ocean at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving behind pieces of broken wood and scattered warriors who bear witness to its arrival in the world and then be forgotten by the warriors of both sides in the fierce battle.

Shimazu Hisao is also unable to, with the strength of their naval division, if they can't entangle the thirteen Western warships of the Hongmen fleet, and wait for the small ships supported by the rear to consume the other party, this naval battle will not be fought at all!

The naval warships can be filled indiscriminately, find some passable sea ships to refit, and replenish some fighters, but in terms of long-range weapons, they are not broken, and they are completely inferior.

The Satsuma people must not be allowed to turn around and conjure up a large number of artillery pieces to be installed in the naval warships, not to mention whether the Satsuma has such a strong economic strength, just at this time the contradictory relationship between their Japanese and Westerners makes them have problems in purchasing artillery.

Thirteen "Yang Fan-type" battleships, it is easy to distinguish which ones are the expeditionary fleet that suddenly came this time, and the artillery fire of these ten warships is too fierce.

A "Yang Fan-type" warship fired on the upper and lower decks on one side, that is, dozens of artillery pieces poured out, not only the power is amazing, but also the crosshairs are really good, almost anywhere within 200 zhang, more than 20 artillery pieces can hit more than 50% of a target, you say that this makes the Satsuma sailors who lack long-range weapons how to fight them.

What's even more annoying is that seeing that the striker is about to approach the opponent's side and connect with the opponent in close quarters, at least it can limit the opponent's unscrupulous use of artillery advantages, but at this time, the Hongmen 400 warships always insert from the hypotenuse, forcing their own side to change direction.

The Hongmen 400 warship is also a bone, and if you put it in your mouth to eat, you will eat it, and it is all Hongmen warship anyway. However, when this side of the carriage switched the target to the Hongmen 400 material warship, the "Yang Fan-type" warship that had no scruples over there would immediately turn the target to a Japanese ship entangled with the 400 material warship.

In order to avoid accidentally damaging one's own warship, there were even times when the "Yang Fan-type" warship would approach within a hundred feet of entanglement between the two sides, and almost approached the hull of the Samoto warship to open fire, and only a dozen cannons were needed to shoot once in turn, and none of the Samoa warships that were targeted were spared.

"Tell Li Jin and Wang Sanbao that without my orders, if they don't charge hard and entangle the Hongmen thieves, I will let them and their families go to see Amaterasu!!" Shimazu Hisao's whole face was filled with a chill, and in less than an hour, nearly seventy ships under his command had been destroyed and sunk, and six or seven ships had lost their combat power, and only about forty ships could still be active on the sea.

Looking at the sky, the order of assistance he sent out had already been known to the nearest city official, and at this time, I am afraid that it is not far from the sea area of his own battlefield, as long as he persists until their arrival, several sides still have a few chances of winning.

No matter how much he sacrificed, Shimazu Hisao could only hold on, and he finally saw the true essence of epoch-making naval warfare in this battle. Until now, in addition to the more than 10 400-material warships of Hongmen that covered the shooting of the "Yang Fan-type" battleship, the 70 warships of Satsuma have not even touched a single hair of the "Yangfan-type" warship, the main warship of Hongmen, let alone harmed them.

There are only more than 100 cannons in the fleet scattered among the seventy warships, and the largest number of warships carries only seven guns, many of which are the thousand-pound Franc machine guns that Hongmen has begun to eliminate, and even the tiger squat cannons that Hongmen does not use.

Such artillery, even if it is lucky enough to hit the armed armor of the Hongmen "Yang Fan" warship more than two feet thick, at most it will only smash out a pothole the size of a bowl, and the damage is almost nothing, and it is even better to hit the deck of the warship, kill and injure the soldiers on it, and at least you can see blood and weaken its combat effectiveness!

Of course, in addition to artillery, the Japanese also had other firearms that were stolen from the Ming Dynasty, such as the Divine Fire Flying Crow, the Divine Dragon Out of the Water, etc., as well as the giant crossbow that was temporarily dismantled from the city and installed in the bow, but in the face of the "Yang Fan" warship that was both flexible and heavily armored, the effect was really unbearable.

Li Jin, Wang Sanbao and others, who were born as pirates, were indeed in a mess, they had long been mentally prepared for this battle, even if they were used to seeing life and death fights, but in the face of powerful hot weapons, they still couldn't stop their eyes trembling, their faces turned pale, and their bodies involuntarily broke out in cold sweat.

If it weren't for the fact that they are no longer free now, they would have been ready to leave their guns and run away.

Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, he thought he was being reused, and the big bosses took the initiative to let their families appear in the territory of Samosa, and they were relieved to be a nobleman in Samosa, and Li Jin couldn't help but settle his family in the territory of Samosa.

One wife and one concubine, plus three sons and five daughters were comfortably placed in the territory assigned to them by Shimazu Tadashi, and Li Jin also lost the opportunity to escape if he couldn't fight.

The Shimazu family bought horse bones, used them more heavily for the pirates who served under their command, and rewarded them heavily, why not take their relatives as hostages, so that these pirates had to obediently obey the leaders of the Shimazu family!

Shimazu Hisao's order soon reached the ears of Li Jin and Wang Sanbao and others, as a long-term bandit, and had many dealings with the Hongmen people, in this hour-long battle, most of these pirate-born sailor warships did not receive much damage, and they were still able to hold on.

Previously, they cunningly steered the warship to avoid the first wave of crazy attacks, which also gave them a taste of what is called a rain of bullets, and made them re-understand the power of Hongmen to stand out.

Because of this, Li Jin and the others were able to continue to entangle with Hongmen in the next battle without suffering too much blow.

However, at this time, Shimazu Hisao's order arrived, which also marked that they had no room to operate until they played a small slippery head.

Gritting his teeth, Li Jin gave the order to move forward to the henchmen warships that followed him left and right, and at the same time, his own car no longer swayed from side to side to play hide and seek with the Hongmen people, but found a target, quietly drew an arc, and slowly approached the other party.
